The smok­ing of cannabis is on the in­crease in the area, the re­cent very warm evenings caus­ing us to close the pa­tio doors to avoid the smell, which blows ev­ery­where if you are down­wind of the source.

Pot smok­ing is also on the in­crease, quite openly, in Uxbridge town cen­tre.

What made it worse was that I was quite will­ing to phone the po­lice to re­port the pot smok­ing at the bus stop, but my wife re­fused to lend me her mo­bile.

This raises the ques­tion. Which is worse – the chap smok­ing the weed, or my wife, by re­fus­ing to give me her phone, thereby con­don­ing his ac­tions? PETE WIL­LIAMS York Av­enue Hayes
